Beat Surrender

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beat Surrender was The Jam's final single released on 4th December 1982.

It became the band's fourth #1 UK single for two weeks in November 1982 and was backed by three B-sides "Shopping", a cover of The Chi-Lites "Stoned Out Of My Mind", and a cover of Curtis Mayfield's classic "Move On Up". The song hinted at the more soul-based style to come with Paul Weller's next band, The Style Council.

It was not included on any of the band's six studio albums.
